Prices move with brand, model, size and stock. Use these ranges to judge a quote, then compare the exact model and what is included.
Rigid, foam and flexible
Rigid sheets are hard and clear or coloured, foam sheets are light with a cellular core and flexible sheets bend and resist tearing. Choose by stiffness and weight.
Thickness and colours
Thin sheets suit covers and signs, thicker foam sheets suit cabinets and partitions. White, black and wood patterns are common.
Cutting and bending
Cut with a fine saw or router, and bend with a heat gun over a former. Round edges and avoid overheating.
Sunlight and chemicals
PVC resists water and many chemicals but yellows in strong sun and warps with heat. Use UV-stable grades outdoors.
Uses
Common uses include signage, cabinet carcasses, bathroom partitions and wall covers. It is not a structural material.
Care
Wipe with soapy water and avoid solvents. Cutting and fixing should be done by a trained carpenter with the right blades, edge banding and fixings for the board.
Before you decide
Pick the sheet type by stiffness and exposure and check thickness at delivery. Measure the job and add 8 to 10 percent for cuts and waste, compare at least two quotes on the same board, thickness, face and edge finish, and keep the invoice and any warranty. Ask for a physical sample or a cut piece so you can check the face, the core and the edge in your own light, and confirm the full sheet size because 8 by 4 feet, 7 by 4 feet and metric sizes are all sold. Store sheets flat, off the floor and away from damp, because boards bow when stacked badly. Prices change with material costs, exchange rates and stock, so confirm the current figure before you decide, and be careful with very low prices that hide thin faces or weak cores.
